Our advisors are available to discuss any career interest at any point in your career journey! You don’t need to have a career plan or a meeting agenda to chat with an OCS advisor. We look forward to meeting with you!

Yale College students, Graduate School of Arts & Sciences students, and Postdoctoral Scholars can connect with OCS in the following ways:

Need a Resume or Cover Letter? Start here!

Have a specific question that doesn’t require a full 30-minute meeting?

  • Yale College Students: Meet with an OCS-Fellowships Outreach Coordinator in your Residential College
  • Make a virtual “Quick Questions” Appointment (available while classes are in session).
  • Quick Question Appointments are often used for Resume and Cover Letter Reviews.

Need a longer discussion? Schedule an Advising Appointment (available in-person or virtual)

  • Request a career advising appointment through Yale Career Link.
  • Choose “Make an Appointment” on the upper right of your homepage
  • If you request a virtual appointment, once approved your advisor will email you a Zoom invitation/link for the date and time of your appointment. Please refer to that email to access your Zoom meeting on the day and time of your appointment.
  • If you’re coming in person, please find directions to our office here.
  • Please do not schedule multiple appointments within two weeks.
  • Advising appointments are available year-round.

Alums can connect with OCS by requesting an appointment:

  • Alums are invited to request a 30-minute appointment online using the Yale Career Link.
  • Your username is your email address and click “forgot password” to reset your password.
  • If you have never logged in please click on “sign up.”
  • Once logged in, select ‘Make an Appointment’ from the upper right of the page.
  • For phone appointments, provide a number in the request and the advisor will call you at the appointment time.
  • For in-person appointments, please find directions to our office here.

Cancellation Policy:  If you can no longer attend your scheduled appointment, the Office of Career Strategy requests that you cancel 1 business day in advance. This will allow another student to fill that spot. If this is not possible, please cancel at least 2 hours in advance of your appointment through Yale Career Link. If you need to cancel within 2 hours, please email the advisor directly from your appointment confirmation or search for their contact via the staff list.  Thank you for your cooperation!
